The Swiss School of Management, previously SMAI Swiss Management Academy International is a private Swiss institution of higher education. It was founded in the last century under the laws of Canton Zurich, Switzerland.

SMAI has always aimed at providing a Swiss quality education to students from all over the world. Unfortunately, the conservatism of Switzerland restricted its global pursuit. Despite its excellent location and security, Switzerland remains small. With its 6 million inhabitants, the country does not offer many job opportunities for international students. In addition, the high living costs are prohibitive and the conservative nature of the current government limits visas granted to international students.

Therefore, SMAI moved its headquarters to Rome, Italy where the living costs are favourable and student visa issuance most probable. Similarly, the move was to offer our international students the possibility to work and undertake internship within the enlarged European Union of which Switzerland is not a member. With the move to Rome, SMAI changed its name to SSM Swiss School of Management due the misleading meaning of the word “Academy”.
